Are .mobi domain names worthwhile?

Does anyone have any opinions on the value of acquiring .mobi names? Not particularly as a stand alone option, but as an adjunct to existing domain names.

Are there any good links someone can point me to please?

Many thanks, Ned

I also had some .mobi names , but i let them drop

It seems they still be a good marketing name ? due to the fact the net is getting more and more mobile these days , but i would suggest more for marketing than any other reason

Most people seem very down on this extension , which could mean there are good keywords still up for sale cheap.

It seems because any .extension can be used as a mobile extension the original idea behind it is now redundent ?

and then there is the whole .tel situation as well

i had some but i dropped them and only kept a handful... they expire next month and i'm planning on dropping them. .mobi has some big backers but i don't see the point anymore, smart phones like the iphone have essentially removed the need for a mobile device specific tld

oh and i've never once used a .mobi site on a mobile phone...

Thanks for all the feedback - I really appreciate it. I agree that the .mobi extension is probably superfluous, so I've decided to let mine drop.

Cheers, Ned
